Merrett, S. and K. Janda. 2005 (in review). Draft of “Waste=Fuel: Affordable Biodiesel for Healthy Communities” in preparation for the International Solar Energy Society 2005 Solar World Congress. This paper describes our system, compares our processor to conventional U.S. commercial biodiesel production, and provides a cost/benefit analysis of the energy use, costs, and fuel quality of our processor will be presented at the International Solar Energy Society’s Solar World Congress ( Orlando, FL; August 2005). This paper is currently being peer-reviewed for publication in Solar Energy Journal.
